Blast chillers for food hygiene and quality

One of the main reasons to buy a blast chiller is food hygiene compliance, rapid cooling to between +3ºC and -18ºC means shock freezers reduce the amount of time foods are left at dangerous temperatures, otherwise known as the danger zone. This is when food sits at between +8ºC and +63ºC for a length of time and dangerous bacteria can grow; to keep within food safety legislation, commercial kitchens should use a blast chiller when necessary to cool or freeze food within a safe time frame.

The fast cooling offered by a shock freezer is also vital in providing a high-quality food service. The quicker the cooling the more taste, texture and nutrition is retained in the food. For professional kitchens seeking high quality, this makes a blast chiller a catering necessity. Blast freezers and chillers also help to extend the shelf-life of food, essential for event catering and anyone preparing and cooking large quantities of food and storing for any length of time.

When it comes to catering for events or large dinner parties, our banquet carts are the perfect option for storing after it has been chilled and regenerating it again ready for service.
